Mass jm Conununwli Days 371
0 LORD Jesus Christ, on Whose glory the angels
and saints in heaven gaze with rapturous
delight, Thou hast deigned out of love for us to
veil Thy beauty under the appearances of bread
and wine, that we might approach Thee more confidently;
Thou art even now ready to come into
our hearts. Would that my soul were adorned
with all those virtues which my good Jesus desires
to find at His coming. In my poverty, I must
appeal to Thyself, my Lord, and I therefore beseech
Thee, when Thou comest into my heart, to
plant there the seed of every flower of virtue that is
pleasing to Thee. I promise Thee to water and
nourish them all by prayer and self-denial, so that
every time Thou comest into my heart Thou mayest
find them growing and flourishing more and more.
I know, 0 my God, the work of keeping them
alive will be difficult to flesh and blood, but I am
willing to make any sacrifice to please Thee, and I
trust also in Thee to water them plentifully with
dew from heaven-the precious dew of Thy grace.
Merciful God! I beseech Thee, have pity on
the poor holy souls in purgatory, who are longing
to be admitted into the heavenly paradise -1onging
more to see Thy face than to be freed from the
fierce flames in which Thy justice is obliged to
keep them, till their debt is paid. I offer Thee
the precious blood of Jesus; I offer Thee the Sacred
Heart of Jesus to pay their debt. Eternal rest
give unto them, 0 Lord, and let perpetual light
shine upon them.
